MACHINE IOR APPLYING CREATE AND LIKE MATERIALS T0 BISCUITS AND THE LIKE.

T 0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that l, LAURENT Iionnonnv, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Bermondsey, in the county of London, England, have invented Improvements in or Relating to lvlachines for Applying Cream and like Materials to Biscuits andthe like, of which the following is a specification (division of No. 73 375, filed September 18th, 1924).

This invention relates to machines of the kind in which material such as cream and the like is applied to biscuits and the like, automatically from a hopper with the aid of two endless travelling webi; one whereof serves to support the biscuits or other articles whilst the other which surmcunts the same serves as a shape and thickness determining controller for the coating to be applied.

The objectot the present invention is to provide an improved construction of travellin web for supporting the biscuits.

I n the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a semi-diagrammatic elevation of both belts of a machine such as referred to. Fig. 2 is a plan to a larger scale of a portion of the lower belt of Fig. 1. Figs. 3, i and are sections corresponding to the lines 83, 44 and 55 of Fig. 2

In Fig. 1, 1 is the endless carrier belt upon which the biscuit blanks are received and 2 is the stencil belt associated therewith. lhe two belts are caused to travel in synchronism, the bi cuit blanks that are to be coated being abstracted from a pile seriatim by positioning devices upon the belt 1 so that they ultimately register with the openings in the stencil belt 2. The stencil belt is associated with the outlet of the hopper that contains the coating material and the coating takes place when an individual blank with its registered stencil opening are themselves both in register with the outlet afor said. As the two belts with the blank therebetween leave the outlet oi the hopper, the stencil belt sweeps past the latter and so wipes oil excess coating material, from which it will be understood that the thickness of the coating is determined by the Divided and this application filed May at the proper distance one from the other by transverse metal ties 4; adapted to support a thinner mid-run 5 of suitable material such as a silk belt which serves to directly receive the biscuit blanks and is interrupted at intervals by pins (5 adapted to dislodge blanks from a guide container such as is described in the specification of my application, Ser. No. 738,375, filed September 18th 192%, said pins 6 which constitute the blank abstracting devices referred to being riveted to the ties l. If desired, canvas and like pads 8 may be sewn to the underside 01" the silk belt 5 substantially equal in thickness to the tics l. The spaced runs 3 may be secured to driving chains 9 by pins 10 that project laterally from certain of the chain links. Certain links are shown as having studs 11 adapted to cooperate with holes in the stencil belt which is thus driven, such an arrangement ensuring register between the biscuit blanks and stencil perforations in the belt 2, through which the cream or the like pass s, that is not attainable or easily attainable by independent positive driving of the belts.

llhat I claim is z 1. In a machine of the kind herein referred to, a carrier belt comprising two relativel thick but narrow endless runs, transverse metal ties holding the said runs in spaced relationship and a thinner midrun supported between the spaced runs aforesaid by the metal ties, substantially as described.

2. In a machine of the kind herein referred to, a carrier belt comprising two narrow endless runs, a thinner endless run pori orated at intervals in its length and metal ties connecting the narrow endless runs at a distance apart such as to accommodate the thinner endless run therebetween, said ties having pins which extend through the perforations in the said thinner run, substantially as described.

3. In a machine of the kind herein referred to, a carrier belt comprising two narrow endless runs, a pair oi endless chains, and pins projecting laterally from such chains into the endless runs, substantially as described.

Signed at London England this 2:2 day of April 1925.

LAURENT RONDOLIN.
